The Oregon Air National Guard’s 142nd Fighter Wing is conducting routine F-15 night training missions this week through Friday.

The training flights will conclude each day before 11 p.m.

Night training allows the pilots based in Portland and Vancouver to stay current with mandatory Air Force requirements.

The monthly missions provide essential training in the use of night-vision goggles and aircraft maneuvering in nighttime flying scenarios.

Flights will depart from and land at Portland International Airport.
